Farm Days Are The Best Days

Working on the Farm and Harvest Days are always a great opportunity to connect curriculum that is taught in classrooms. The kids are great at discovering cool bugs or odd shaped veggies and then asking questions about the why. With all of the rain that we have had, our crops are not growing the way that we have expected, so that gave us opportunity to talk about the water cycle, saturation, and the needs of plants. We harvested so much garlic that our entire school building smelled like an Italian restaurant. If some made it home in a backpack, I hope that you enjoyed it at home. It's been a great year on the Farm and we look forward to many years to come!
